lyrics

The Battle Of The Trees
___________________

Over the sea from the sunken land
Came the people of Danaan
Into a dark realm of shadows
Bringing the light of knowledge
And magic

And the sea
And the sea is a torrent of dreams
With the ships
With the ships devoured whole
And the gods
And the gods descend to earth in the fire
Lit the sky
Lit the sky with their might

On the field of Goddeu Brig
Assembled the trees in their ranks
Fighting for the freedom of the land
Fighting for the freedom of man
Eternal

And the sea
And the sea is a torrent of dreams
With the ships
With the ships devoured whole
And the gods
And the gods descend to earth in the fire
Lit the sky
Lit the sky with their might
So they rode
So they rode away into the field
Far away
Far away from the night
And they'll sleep
And they'll sleep 'till the morning will come
To arise
To arise and take up flight

Through the skies
I'm awaiting the answer
From the Isle of Skye
The dawn of my youth
I will come as a stranger
To the gates of Ochran
Return to the Earth
Return to the Fire
Return to my birth
Return to Eire
Return to the Earth
Return to the Fire
Return to my birth
Return to Eire
